Staten Island, NY - Wagner scored the first six goals en route to posting a 15-8 win over Manahttan in non-conference action at Hameline Field.

In defeat, the Jaspers fall to 0-2 with the Seahawks improving to 1-0.


Wagner scored the first six goals of the game only to see Manhattan answer with a pair of Parker Giarratana (Fr., Delray, FL / Boca Raton Community) goals sandwiched between a tally from sophomore Conor Darby (Havermill, MA / Assumption), slicing the deficit to 6-3 at halftime.

In the third period, the Seahawks ripped off a 5-1 run in extending their advantage out to 11-4 before sophomore Chris Sammarro (Mountain Lakes, NJ / Mountain Lakes) stopped the bleeding with an unassisted goal.

Giarratana would then score the final three Manhattan goals of the game to cap his big five-goal performance.

His five goals are the also the most by a Jasper since Ryan Payton had five against Monmouth on April 12, 2014.

Darby also notched multiple-goals, finishing with two while sophomore Michael Zingaro (Cortland Manor, NY / Walter Panas) made 11 saves between the pipes for Manhattan.

Despite the defeat, the Jaspers posted a 14-11 advantage on face-offs.

Patrick McMenamin paced Wagner with six goals.


Manhattan returns to action on Saturday, February 20 at Robert Morris with opening faceoff slated for 11:00 am.
